Simple and workable. You did good! Eye-impaired? Glossy screen? White background? Try myTexts snow! Need color? Black background? Try myTexts! “Less is more”, as minimalist architect Mies van der Rohe says. Enter myTexts, software specifically designed with you, the writer, in mind. Unlike most word processors, myTexts stands apart from the rest with its simple to use user-friendly interface. Without the burdens of superfluous features common in other softwares, myTexts helps you get more meaning out of your words with less distraction. With myTexts, you don’t need to worry about the glitz and glamour of eye-candy filling your screen, meaning less crashes, less distractions, and less troubles; myTexts’ integrated automated environment helps you focus almost automatically on writing. Simply put, you don’t have to worry about pesky pests like windows, buttons or formats. No mess, no fuss. myTexts truly turns your Mac into a supercharged typewriter. Having trouble maintaining and locating your writings? With myTexts, there’s no need for you to worry about your documents, text files, backups, or how to regain them – myTexts takes care of it all for you! All of this is done in a self-explanatory and user-friendly way. myTexts saves your writing in the background and creates a backup at every start-up if you wish. All of your writings are just one click away at the left-hand side menu and are completely searchable. For your convenience, myTexts allows you to add tags to your documents, which, in turn, can be added to your Spotlight searches as well; thus, you will never again lose or misplace another text document. myTexts can be customized to fit your personal needs. Fonts, size, space, color or line spacing, myTexts serves to support you and your creativity. Working on a glossy display, good-looking? No worries. myTexts’ background was designed to remove the distraction of reflections created by glossy screens. No man is an island – not even the best poet. Since we write to be widely read and understood, myTexts multi-format file support makes it easy to exchange files with the outside world. myTexts inherently has read/write support to common and prevalent file formats like txt, rft, doc, docx, html, schreiben, odt and xml.

myTexts is working really great for me. I can focus on writing and forget distraction (it’s so easy to switch to the Tweetie window, or iChat, or Safari, or …, but not with this nice full screen view hiding everything unnecessary). I like the combination of both versions. I use the snow version when I’m on the go. This way I can minimize reflections from the glossy screen. The normal version is best for working at home or in darker environments and it is very eye-friendly in this circumstances. And keep in mind that the difference between both versions isn’t only the color. The developer improved every detail and made sure, that every small bit of both versions is aesthetically pleasing.

How about a further discount for buying both versions? I could go for that.

What is different about this app from either WriteRoom or MacJournal? They seem very similar to me.

@cyannah:
you can easily crossgrade from myTexts to myTexts snow for some bucks :-)

For me it is the best of its kind. I like the built in document management and the export features. Still, the UI is totally clutterless and doesn´t move in the way.
@cyannah: Autobackup, .txt-fileformat, notes-feature, etc…

@Chris & @Mark
Writeroom also has autobackup and .txt file format.
As to MacJournal — its features are much different, being an application that can work like a diary log, a blog writing tool, or even as a task organizer. It also has the full screen feature. I think the objectives of MJ are much wider.
I guess it all depends on what are you looking for in an app. I have Scrivener, Nisus and Writeroom — that pretty much covers all myTexts features and much more, so I’ll skip this zot. However, some people might like myTexts interface better.

You could try JustWrite with ooSooM. Both Free:

Rafael is a buddy of the developer. Beware of that comment.
But right, nice work done.

I tried out a demo of this once before and love the easy on the eyes look and layout. I’m wired so that visual recognition (where am I? gold-on-grey. Oh yeah, that means I’m focusing on ABC) precedes verbal competence. Unfortunately, dev says allowing for styles (I just wanted a few defaults available to toggle between) constitutes feature bloat and is not planning to make this available.

Don’t see any need to purchase since I have WriteRoom, which works just fine as a simple, full screen editor. It tops myTexts in that the SimpleText syncing allows me to keep my WR docs synced with the iPhone version of WR.
Still, this would be worth a look if I did not already have WR.

I’ve used WriteRoom myself – the only reason why I’ve started with myTexts is: I hate dealing with documents and don’t wont to care about them. Now I have all my texts I am working on in one place, have ‘Smart Folders’, can print/export one file or a ‘complete’ book or play etc. and most important for me I have them all synced via DropBox (or iDisk) on multiple Macs. Of course if you really need formatting (Rich Text) you should use WriteRoom – even when myTexts supports formatted export to RichText or Word etc. If you need much more than have a look at the awesome Scrivener. BTW – I don’t pay for comments neither do I tell people to comment – but of course I love feedback :-)
